k. cytoplasm

Answer 1

The correct match for the description of an organelle that is comparable to a "factory" in a city, where different products required for the city to operate are made or constructed, is:

j. ribosomes

Ribosomes are responsible for protein synthesis, which is critical for the cell's operations, much like a factory produces essential goods for a city.
